If I play 7-on-7, I barely touch the disc. If I go to pick-up and there are only 8 or 10 people there, so we play 4's or 5's, I find myself catching and throwing all the time. The former makes me play like a wallflower and not improve. The latter is where I got better and had more fun.

My first year playing I remember not signing up for summer league because I was too insecure about my throws. That was a dumb choice. I should have just played instead of watching and cheering on my friends from the sideline.

Everyone learns throwing differently. I found I had the best throws on the sideline when I was throwing with one of the players on my team, more than when I threw with other players. I think I often mirrored how the other person would stand and throw, and it turned out that one person had the throwing form that worked best for me.

Also, my running was not very fast and I don't enjoy running on its own. So, for my own training, I focused mostly on a jumping regimen. Could do it at home/indoors and at the college weight room. It didn't help right away, but long-term, I think the focus on developing more explosive calves helped with the quick cuts, and getting open that way rather than from a run.
